I Need Some Identification Help, Please...

[dmhcollectibles]

I have this card that looks like a tinted Real Photo. The only caption is Lola Westergaard, or maybe it's Lola Hestergaard, I'm not sure which. She looks like an Edwardian period actress or dancer or singer or some such, but I can't find anything out about her doing a google search. Sara or anyone else, do you know anything about her?

well that link didn't work!! I'd like to sell her but don't know what to say in the description - here she is (I hope)

[dmhcollectibles]

She's also in the Diane needs ID Help album :) Thanks in advance Diane

Sorry, Diane. I haven't a clue but love the outfit!

I can't make out the photographer's mark. Maybe there is a clue there. Westergaard is Danish in origin, I bet.

[dmhcollectibles]

Thanks for looking, anyway 🙂 She's a great card, maybe someone will eventually wander past and know something about her! Diane

I have a similar RPPC of a French show girl that was a souvenir of a place of entertainment (THE ALCAZAR D'ETE) in Paris. Jane

hmmm showgirl might be a good word for the title - who knows what she was!!!! Thanks again Jane

ohhhh I just noticed this is the 300th discussion for this group. Do I get a prize? LOL Diane

Search g.g. in titles & descriptions in Real Photo Postcards and you'll get many similar cards. Jane

Item 6169210037 I wonder if Asta is her sister?

[dmhcollectibles]

hmmm who knows...maybe her name IS Weslergaard (it's in scripty writing and a bit hard to make out) or maybe the seller of that card is wrong with the name, or maybe they're not related, lol ... who knows thanks again Jane, I'm headin' for bed now... Diane

Good night, Diane. I think Asta is Lola and Westergaard is the last name. Here's a pic of Asta Westergaard wearing Lola's dress http://www.pettipond.com/laterimages/images_cabinetcards/westergaard_asta.jpg

By GUM you're RIGHT, Jane!!!! How in the world did you come up with that, and THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Now off to find out what I can about this poor woman whose FIRST name I couldn't even make out right, much less her last name! Again, thanks a bunch, Jane, you're brilliant! Diane
